It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed since the ‘essentially’ complete genome sequence of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was published in 1998 [1]. The sequencing effort led by John Sulston and Alan Coulson at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge and Robert Waterston, then at the Genome Center in St. Louis, is acclaimed as a landmark in genomics—the first whole genome sequence of a multicellular organism. As it stands today, C. elegans remains the only multicellular organism that can claim to have a completely sequenced genome with truly inclusive telomere-to-telomere coverage. Perhaps of equal importance, the efforts of these investigators and their colleagues have helped both to . . . [Full Text of this Article]
